SQLFreeStmt isn't completely deprecated, just the SQL_DROP option. Which
you're not testing ;-).

SQLBindParam isn't really deprecated, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710955%28v=vs.85%29.aspx. I
think we'll want to keep that, even if we remove the rest of the
deprecated functions, to stay compatible with a ISO / Open Group driver
manager that doesn't know about the Microsoft extensions. (AFAIK no such
driver manager actually exists, but as a matter of principle...)

Please also add the new test case to test/Makefile and Makefile.am

I agree.
